Pharmgenomics Pers Med 2023; 16:1027-1039. [PMID: 38046381 PMCID: PMC10693251 DOI: 10.2147/pgpm.s432528] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Regimens of S-1-based adjuvant chemotherapy are of great significance in attenuating recurrence risk in postoperative patients with gastric cancer (GC). Kinase insert-domain receptor (KDR) gene plays an essential role in tumor growth and metastasis. This study aimed to investigate the implication of KDR genotyping on the therapeutic outcomes of patients with gastric cancer (GC) who received S-1-based adjuvant chemotherapy. Methods A total of 169 postoperative GC with pathological staging of II and III and no metastasis who received S-1-based adjuvant chemotherapy were included retrospectively. Peripheral blood specimens were collected and prepared for KDR genotyping and KDR mRNA expression. Correlation between KDR genotype status and prognosis was performed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, and multivariate analysis was ultimately adopted using Cox regression analysis. Results Median disease-free survival (DFS) of the 169 patients with GC was 5.1 years [95% confidence interval (CI): 4.25-5.95] and median overall survival (OS) was 6.7 years (95% CI: 5.44-7.96). Rs2071559 was located at the upstream region, and the prevalence among 169 patients with GC was as follows: AA genotype in 104 cases (61.5%), AG genotype in 57 cases (33.7%), and GG genotype in 8 cases (4.7%), yielding a minor allele frequency of 0.22, which was consistent with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P=0.958). Median DFS of patients with AA and AG/GG genotypes was 6.0 years and 4.0 years, respectively (P=0.002). Additionally, patients with the AA genotype had longer OS than those with the AG/GG genotype [median OS: not reached (NR) vs 5.5 years, P=0.011]. Additionally, KDR mRNA expression was significantly higher in patients with the AG/GG genotype than that in those with the AA genotype (P<0.001). Conclusion Rs2071559 in KDR gene might be a promising biomarker for evaluating the recurrence risk and OS of patients with GC who received S-1-based adjuvant chemotherapy. This conclusion should be confirmed in randomized clinical trials.

[PMID: 36529115 DOI: 10.1016/j.lungcan.2022.12.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 11/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide due to its late-stage detection. Lung cancer screening, including low-dose computed tomography (low-dose CT), provides an initial clinical solution. Nevertheless, further innovations and refinements would help to alleviate remaining limitations. The non-invasive, gentle, and fast nature of breath analysis (BA) makes this technology highly attractive to supplement low-dose CT for an improved screening algorithm. However, BA has not taken hold in everyday clinical practice. One reason might be the heterogeneity and variety of BA methods. This scoping review is a comprehensive summary of study designs, breath analytical methods, and suggested biomarkers in lung cancer. Furthermore, this synthesis provides a framework with core outcomes for future studies in lung cancer BA. This work supports future research for evidence synthesis, meta-analysis, and translation into clinical routine workflows.

Abstract
Developing advanced dressings that integrate multiple functions is one of the major challenges in current clinical wound treatment. In this study, Xanthan gum (XG) and polyacrylamide (PAAm) materials were used to prepare hydrogel dressings by one-pot method. With the combination of the PAAm network and the XG network, the PAAm-XG hydrogels showed the tensile strength of 0.36 MPa and the stretchability as large as 2078 %. The prepared PAAm-XG hydrogels had excellent water uptake efficiency with the swelling ratio of 1200 %. Besides, the developed dressings possessed outstanding biocompatibility, universal adhesion and self-healing ability. More importantly, the PAAm-XG hydrogels can be successfully loaded with Cefixime and human recombinant epidermal growth factor, and these loaded hydrogels released these bioactive molecules in sustained ways. As a result, both E. coli and S. aureus bacteria were inactivated after contacting with the Cefixime-loaded hydrogels for 24 h. Furthermore, in vivo data demonstrated that the PAAm-XG hydrogel dressings significantly accelerated the wound healing in a mouse model. All of these indicate that the multifunctional PAAm-XG hydrogels are promising candidates for wound treatment.

Effectiveness and Safety of PD-1 Inhibitor Monotherapy for Elderly Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Real-World Exploratory Study. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2022; 2022:1710272. [PMID: 35909903 PMCID: PMC9337937 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1710272] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Background Immunotherapy represented by PD-1 blockades had become the standard of care for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) gradually. Unfortunately, several PD-1 inhibitor-related studies excluded elderly patients with NSCLC over 75 years of age, resulting in relatively limited evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of PD-1 in elderly patients with NSCLC clinically. Objective This study aimed to identify the effectiveness and safety of PD-1 blockade monotherapy among elderly patients with advanced NSCLC. Methods Elderly patients with advanced NSCLC (≥65 years) who received PD-1 blockade monotherapy from September 2018 to December 2021 were screened retrospectively, and a total of 68 elderly patients with NSCLC were eligible for inclusion ultimately. The PD-1 blockades in the study were the available PD-1 monoclonal antibodies that had been approved for marketing in China, including camrelizumab, sintilimab, pembrolizumab, and nivolumab. The effectiveness and safety of the patients was collected retrospectively. Additionally, the correlation between prognosis and baseline characteristic subgroups was analyzed to identify the potential risk factors for progression-free survival (PFS). Results The median age of the 68 elderly patients with advanced NSCLC was 73 years (range: 65–82 years). Best overall response during PD-1 blockade administration suggested that no patients were found with complete response, partial response was found in 14 patients, stable disease was noted in 29 patients, and 25 patients had progressive disease, yielding an objective response rate (ORR) of 20.6% (95%CI: 11.7%–32.1%) and a disease control rate (DCR) of 63.2% (95%CI: 50.7%–74.6%). Furthermore, prognostic analysis exhibited that the median progression-free survival (PFS) of the 68 patients with advanced NSCLC was 3.5 months (95%CI: 2.4–4.6) and the median overall survival (OS) was 10.5 months (95%CI: 6.3–14.7). Additionally, a total of 48 patients were observed with the treatment-related adverse reaction (70.6%) of the 68 elderly patients with NSCLC, and the incidence of grade 3 or above adverse reactions was 16.2%. Specifically, the most common adverse reactions were fatigue, diarrhea, rash, and abnormal liver function with the incidence of 25.0%, 22.1%, 16.2%, and 14.7%, respectively. Exploratory analysis between PFS and baseline characteristic subgroups suggested that ECOG performance status and number of metastatic lesions might be independent factors for PFS. Conclusion PD-1 blockade monotherapy exhibited potential effectiveness and acceptable toxicity for elderly patients with NSCLC. ECOG performance status and number of metastatic lesions might be potential risk factors to predict the PFS of elderly patients with advanced NSCLC.

Int J Gen Med 2021; 14:7625-7637. [PMID: 34754233 PMCID: PMC8572099 DOI: 10.2147/ijgm.s334436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2021] [Accepted: 10/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose The present study was to investigate the real-world efficacy and safety of anlotinib monotherapy as third-line therapy for elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods A total of 83 elderly patients (>65 years) with NSCLC who were progressed at least two lines of previous systemic therapy were recruited retrospectively. Patients were treated with anlotinib monotherapy (12 mg or 10 mg). Efficacy of anlotinib was assessed and all the patients were followed up regularly. Adverse reactions were collected during anlotinib administration. Univariate analysis was performed using Log rank test and multivariate analysis was adjusted by Cox regression analysis. Additionally, prognostic analysis according to common adverse reactions was implemented to identify the potential clinical significance. Results The best overall response of the 83 elderly patients during anlotinib monotherapy indicated that partial response (PR) was observed in six patients, stable disease (SD) was noted in 59 patients, and progressive disease (PD) was reported in 18 patients. Consequently, the objective response rate (ORR) was 7.2% (95% CI=2.7–15.1%) and the disease control rate (DCR) was 78.3% (95% CI=67.9–86.6%). The median progression-free survival (PFS) of the 83 elderly patients with NSCLC was 4.2 months (95% CI=3.51–4.89). Furthermore, the median overall survival (OS) of the 83 patients was 9.6 months (95% CI=6.65–12.55). The safety profile suggested that the relatively common adverse reactions of the elderly patients with ES-SCLC receiving anlotinib therapy were hypertension (49.4%), fatigue (45.8%), and hand–foot syndrome (39.8%). Interestingly, association analysis exhibited that the median PFS of patients with hypertension and non-hypertension was 4.5 and 3.0 months, respectively (χ2=6.306, P=0.012). Conclusion Anlotinib monotherapy demonstrated a satisfactory efficacy and tolerable safety profile in third-line settings for elderly patients with advanced NSCLC. Patients who experienced a hypertension adverse reaction induced by anlotinib therapy might confer superior PFS. The conclusion should be validated in prospective clinical trials subsequently.

Technol Cancer Res Treat 2020; 19:1533033820947490. [PMID: 32851926 PMCID: PMC7457640 DOI: 10.1177/1533033820947490] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2020] [Revised: 06/28/2020] [Accepted: 07/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our study aimed to investigate the expression level and clinical significance of serum and exhaled breath condensate miR-186 and IL-1β in non-small cell lung cancer patients. METHODS The serum and exhaled breath condensate specimens of 62 non-small cell lung cancer patients and 60 healthy controls were collected to detect miR-186 expression levels by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was applied to examine IL-1β concentration. Statistical analyses were used to evaluate the correlation between miR-186 and IL-1β in serum and clinicopathological features, traditional serum tumor markers, and inflammatory markers. The diagnostic efficacy of miR-186 and IL-1β for non-small cell lung cancer was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The correlation between miR-186 and IL-1β was determined. RESULTS ① The relative expression level of miR-186 was greatly reduced in the serum and EBC of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, and the miR-186 expression level was reduced in different TNM stages of non-small cell lung cancer, from the early to later stages. ② The IL-1β concentration in serum and exhaled breath condensate of patients with non-small cell lung cancer was increased. ③ Serum miR-186 and IL-1β levels were closely related to lymph node metastasis, and the low expression of serum miR-186 and the high concentration of IL-1β were associated with higher serum carcinoembryonic antigen, C-reactive protein, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate levels. ④ ROC curve analysis showed that exhaled breath condensate miR-186 had higher area under the curve than serum miR-186, and the combined detection showed higher diagnostic efficacy than the separate detection. In addition, the combined detection of IL-1β and miR-186 has a larger AUC than the separate detection of both. ⑤ The correlation between serum miR-186 and IL-1β was negative. CONCLUSION miR-186 and IL-1β are expected to be potential diagnostic biomarkers for non-small cell lung cancer.
